   John Cotton was a Puritan Scholar and clergyman (1584-1652), and was perhaps the most influential leader in shaping the destiny of Puritan New England. In his reflection on the human tendency to be corrupted by power he wrote: " Let all the world learn to give mortall men no greater power than they are content they shall use, for use it they will: and unless they be better taught of God, they will use it ever and anon... For whatever transcendent power is given, will certainly over run those that give it, and those that receive it: there is a straine in a mans heart that will sometime or other runne out to excesse, unlesse the Lord restraine it, but it is not good venture it: It is necessary therefore, that all power that is on earth be limited, Church-power or other.."

Weekly History Challenge - 5/14/07

This weeks prize is the fine art print of the "Painting of the Baptism of Pocahontas".

 

This man  is best remembered for having introduced tobacco as a commercial crop to Virginia colonists. The production of this valuable commodity shaped the future development of the colony and provided an economic incentive for further expansion and settlement of the New World. He is also well-known because of his marriage to Pocahontas. This marriage brought a much-needed period of peace between the Indians and the colonists. The couple toured England in 1616 - 1617 and promoted the colony at Jamestown. Name the man who married Pocahontas and introduced tobacco as a cash crop to Jamestown.
